Thigh lift surgery in Toronto

An introduction to thigh lift surgery

Thigh lift surgeries can completely alter the contour of the thigh – removing both excess fat and sagging skin from the thigh that creates an undesirable silhouette, and sculpting the thigh area so that it is far slimmer. For women who feel unconfident because of excess fatty deposits in either the inner or outer thigh area, opting for a thigh lift with Dr.Jugenburg will both revolutionize the contour of your thighs and the way that you feel about your own body.

Dr. Jugenburg is highly skilled at performing the two varieties of thigh lift surgeries: inner thigh and outer thigh surgery. With inner thigh cosmetic procedures, the circumference of the inner thigh is reduced, creating a far leaner appearance. Outer thigh procedures are usually chosen by patients who have experienced great weight loss and have sagging skin on the outside of their thigh. This procedure removes the excess skin, and is often performed in tandem with butt lifts. The results are slimmer thighs that are unrecognizable from the thighs that once had excess fat and skin, creating a much improved appearance in clothing and significantly enhanced body confidence.

Reasons to consider a thigh lift

Sagging skin. Liposuction is very effective for removing fatty deposits but it cannot remove excess skin. In order to contour the thighs, a thigh lift is a more appropriate cosmetic procedure.

Removal of excess fat. For women who are unhappy with the shape of their inner thighs and wish to reduce the circumference of this area, a thigh lift is an effective way of removing excess fat and tissue.

Whatever your reasons for considering thigh lift surgery, you will have the opportunity to fully understand the procedure during a personal and private consultation with Dr. Jugenburg.

Your thigh lift consultation

Choosing a cosmetic surgery procedure is always an important decision that should never be rushed. That is why Dr. Jugenburg always takes the time to get to know his patients and their reasons for wanting a thigh light during a consultation. During this meeting, you will have a general heath check and discuss all the implications and outcomes of thigh lift surgery to ensure that you are fully informed and prepared to enter the operating theatre. This is also a time when you can ask any questions that you might have about thigh lift surgery in a private, but friendly clinic environment.

This depends on the type of thigh lift that you choose. During an inner thigh lift, Dr. Jugenburg will make an incision along your inner thigh and remove a wedge of excess skin and fat. For outer thigh surgery, an incision is made from the groin crease to the back. Excess skin, fat, and tissue is then removed directly from the outer thigh. The procedure should take 2-4 hours to complete and the patient will be under general anesthesia.

You may need to change your intake of certain medications before the procedure (and you will be advised about this personally), and you will need to stop smoking at least two weeks before the surgery in order to promote the fastest possible recovery.

Depending on the outcome of your surgery, you could either be discharged a few hours after surgery is complete, or you may have to stay within our facilities for 2-3 days. You will experience some mild to moderate pain for 1 week following the procedure, which can be controlled with medication. You will also have some swelling in the first few days, but this will completely disappear within 4-6 weeks. In 4-6 weeks, you will also be able to return to work and resume your normal life with your new slimmer thighs.

The incision is placed within the groin crease so it is strategically placed to be as inconspicuous as possible. This scar will also fade over time and will rarely migrate. Dr. Jugenburg understands the concerns that his patients have about scarring and is experienced at creating incisions that result in minimal scars.

There are some complications associated with thigh lift surgery that any person thinking about choosing a thigh lift should be aware of. Excessive bleeding and formation of fluid under the skin that leads to swelling can occur. Migration of scars and infection are also possible. Our supportive staff are always on hand to talk through all of the risks associated with thigh lift surgery and how we minimize those risks.
